About this item

  • Made of Monel for Warm, Natural Tone: These strings use Monel—a nickel-based alloy known for its mellow response and clarity—to deliver smooth, vintage-inspired tone across the full range of your mandolin.
  • Medium Gauge for Balanced Feel and Projection: Gauged at .011, .015, .026, .040, this set provides just the right amount of tension for full tone and dynamic playability across all 8 strings.
  • Resonant from Day One: Designed to sound broken-in immediately and stay in the tonal sweet spot longer—no extended play-in time required.
  • Stable Tuning, Longer Playtime: Precision winding and consistent core tension reduce time spent tuning so you can focus on your performance.
  • Built for Standard 8-String Mandolins: Compatible with most traditional mandolins, this full 8-string set is crafted to Martin’s high standards of tone, feel, and durability.

Estas cordas foram uma desilusão. Perderam o brilho muito rapidamente. Um verdadeiro exemplo do barato que não compensa.

Needed to replace a single string. This pack is affordable and I was able to replace the string myself with the help of a Youtube tutorial and pair of round nose pliers.

If, like me, you're looking to bring your mandolin's sound to life? Start right here. I've got an A type that I got from Rondo Music several years ago, and it's definitely due for a deep cleaning re-setup... I've used Martins on all my acoustic instruments as long as I can remember. You just can't beat their bright, balanced tone, and they hang well for many, many hours of use. Martin has been at it for over a century, and they've absolutely perfected their strings!

These are hands down my favorite mandolin strings. Love the way they feel and sound. As an added bonus, I don't think I've ever snapped one when stringing.

The E string came unraveled at the loop end when first tuning the mandolin to pitch. I’m careful to tighten them slowly, but the string kept unwinding during tuning. The other strings are holding together.After replacing the E string. I wanted to update this review.I really like the sound and playability of there strings on my National mandolin.

I got these for my son's mandolin. They are very good quality and have a really nice sound. Delivery was quick also. Definite buy.

Had been buying tape wound strings at more than double the price of these, mainly for the feel. These strings, while not as sleek as the tape wound, still feel quite good and actually sound nicer. Well satisfied!
